The African JAZZ Hounds
"This is a very good African group that I have seen performing live"
Styliannie Jazz Soul Singer & Band
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Styliannie sing at our wedding cocktail reception, and she was truly one of the highlights of the day.
From the start, she was incredibly professional and collaborative—she worked with us to curate the perfect playlist, blending timeless jazz classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald.
Her voice is simply stunning—effortless, soulful, and full of warmth. The moment she started singing, it set the perfect ambience and brought a beautiful energy to the space. You couldn’t help but smile hearing her, and our guests were just as enchanted.
We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how talented and engaging she was.
Styliannie is not only an amazing performer, but also a genuinely lovely person. She brought a touch of glamour, grace, and joy to our special day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!"
